Cookie Handling Policy

We collect information by placing cookies on your computer, tablet or mobile device ("device"). A cookie is a small text file that the browser deploys on your device. It is basically a tool that stores information about visits to websites and recognizes you and your preferences every time you visit. It guarantees the functionality of the site and allows us to provide members with the services they request.
When you visit, a session identification cookie is implanted in your device that only lasts the time of your visit. We also implant persistent cookies ("local storage devices") on the members' devices, so that they can remember you and make your experience faster and easier.
You can adapt the settings of your browser and mobile device to block cookies and local storage devices, but if you do, you may not have access to some of the services that offers.

- 1 - Our Site's Approach to Cookies and Privacy

We use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
  • Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
  • Functional Cookies. These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies then some or all of these services may not function properly.
  • Targeting Cookies. These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
  • Performance Cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

- 5 - Additional Information

Usage Data refers to data collected automatically either generated by the use of the Service or from the Service infrastructure itself (for example, the duration of a page visit).
We may also gather information on how the Service is accessed and used, known as "Usage Data." This can include details such as your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service visited, the time and date of visits, duration spent on pages, interactions with ads, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data. From an IP address, we may determine a user’s Internet Service Provider and approximate geographic location.

- 6 - Revisions to This Privacy Policy

As our services evolve with ongoing technological improvements, we may periodically update this Policy to ensure it aligns with our latest operational practices. We encourage you to visit this page regularly to stay informed about the current policy.
